what color would this water have produced when treated with the cabbage extract?

The distilled water can dissolve carbon dioxide from the air and become weakly acidic (this is what causes water to disolve limestone to produce caves). The water might become acidic enough to change the color of the cabbage extract, but I'm not certain what pH this occurs.

if it is distilled, it does not matter how it was distilled, it would still be neutral pH as long as it was truely distilled. i do not know how the cabbage thing works. however, litmus strips are great, and much more accurate for determining pH

Need more information.
Are you talking about that red-purple cabbage that behaves like litmus and changes colour with pH?
